Nowadays, many people have a tendency to use a traditional medicine for dysmenorrhea. Hence, we aimed to compare the analgesic effect of Agnogol and Mefenamic acid in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea.  Material and Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 44 women with primary dysmenorrhea referred to Hajar hospital in Shahrekord. The participants were randomly allocated to two groups of Agnogol (n=23) to use one 3.2 mg Agnogol pill for three times a day and Mefenamic Acid (n=21) to use 250 mg Mefenamic acid every 8 hours a day for three days. The pain severity was detected by Visual Analogue Scale. We used Independent and Paired t test for comparing the means of quantitative variables and Chi Square for qualitative variables ( P<0.05 ).  Results: Considering age, menstrual duration, menstrual interval, and pain severity score, there was no significant difference in two groups at the beginning of the study (P>0.05). After intervention, a significant reduction was found in the mean of pain score over time in both Agnogol (P<0.001) and Mefenamic acid (P0.05).  Conclusion: Given the same effect of Agnogol in mitigating dysmenorrhea, we recommend it as an appropriate alternative for Mefenamic acid.}, Keywords = {Agnogol, dysmenorrhea, Mefenamic acid}, volume = {12}, Number = {1}, pages = {1-7}, publisher = {Golestan University of Medical Sciences }, url = {http://nmj.goums.ac.ir/article-1-699-en.html}, eprint = {http://nmj.goums.ac.ir/article-1-699-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Research Development in Nursing and Midwifery}, issn = {2588-3038}, eissn = {}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Nooreddini, Ahmad and Sedaghat, Soheila and Sanagu, Akram and Hoshyari, Hojjatollah and Cheraghian, Bahm}, title = {Effect of Clinical Skills Evaluation Applied by Direct Observation Clinical Skills (DOPS) on the Clinical Performance of Junior Nursing Students}, abstract ={Background and Objective: Direct observation of medical learner working on real patients is of paramount importance to assess practical competency.

Material and Methods: This correlational study was conducted on 57 patients undergoing elective hernia surgery in Shahid Beheshti Hospital ,Sabzevar in summer 2014.  An identical anesthesia technique was used for all patients.  Depth of anesthesia was monitored quantitatively by bispectral index (BIS) at 5-minute intervals, with simultaneous recording of heart rate and blood pressure. We analyzed the data using Anova and correlation coefficient. Results: The mean age was 45.54±13.46. The patients were males (n=36) and females (n= 21).   Only 59.6 % of the patients experienced a normal depth of anesthesia. Hemodynamic parameters were not significantly correlated with anesthetic depth except for heart rate in the first 5 minutes (P= 0.013). Conclusion: Given that hemodynamic parameters have some limitations in determining the acceptable depth of anesthesia, we recommend using the monitors based on brain signal processing.}, Keywords = {Depth of Anesthesia, Hemodynamic Parameters, Surgery}, volume = {12}, Number = {2}, pages = {16-20}, publisher = {Golestan University of Medical Sciences }, url = {http://nmj.goums.ac.ir/article-1-773-en.html}, eprint = {http://nmj.goums.ac.ir/article-1-773-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Research Development in Nursing and Midwifery}, issn = {2588-3038}, eissn = {}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Sanagoo, Akram and Behnampour, Naser and Taghavee, Ahmad and Baiky, Farib}, title = {Relationship between Mental Health and Burnout in Al–E-Jalil Hospital`s Staff, 2014}, abstract ={Background and Objective: Mental health is one of essential needs that has a critical role in sustainable development.  Burnout , a physical and mental fatigue and a sense of reduced capabilities, is a leading factor in lowering mental health efficiency .this study aimed at determining the relationship between burnout and mental health in  Al –E-Jalil hospital`s staff.
